What's more it's inaccurate - while not a super model she's certainly more than passable (if that's relevant in a sports quiz show). That’s disgraceful and not even has the excuse of being funny.

I like Kim Clijsters very much and I agree with your assessment of her. She's a gracious person who plays fair, doesn't 'spit the dummy', doesn't abuse her opponents or linespeople, is a good sport win or lose, and is very talented. I hope she wins, particularly as she's the mother of a little daughter. Good on her! I'm concerned by the attitude that's still rife in the community - making revolting sexist remarks is still considered OK! Will it ever stop? I get weary over it!
